My sister is seeking assistance from an organization that claims to help keep seniors in their homes. She is caregiver for our father, and he has some health concerns but not dementia. She needs help getting him to appointments, but they are asking her all sorts of questions, giving her something to sign, she's getting very nervous they will force him into a nursing home. I can't be up there with her to help out, we are both very stressed.
Best wishes to you and your family.
Once a person accepts help from anything to do with the state, they are in charge and will be the one making the decisions.
I've worked for many seniors and their families privately and saw first-hand what happens. They could be living a pretty decent life with their family, then the family starts getting offers from all kinds of organizations claiming all kinds of free resources available to help out with their elderly "loved one". Except all this help and programs are never free. They get their money when a house has to be sold because they put the senior into a nursing home for some minor reason.
If your sister starts accepting these services and signs anything she and your father will have social workers and the state up both their a$$es all the time. And yes they can put your father in a nursing home for any reason they say. Then his house and everything he has gets handed over.
Tell your sister to sign nothing.
